Yes. The first seven states to secede sent delegates to Montgomery, Alabama where they adopted the Confederate Constitution in February 1861. These were South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. They set up the Confederate government in Montgomery. Four more states seceded after Fort Sumter, including Virginia, and the Confederate government then moved to Richmond, Virginia.

When was Mexico vs Texas War?
If you mean the Texas Republic, never.One of the causes of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was the admission of Texas as a U.S. state. At the end of such conflict, Mexico lost and was forced to cease any claim on Texas as long as it was part of the United States. Therefore, if Texas ever secedes from the U.S., Mexico is nominally entitled to renew its claims to such lost territory.Last time this could have happened, was during the American Civil War (1861-1865) when Texas split from the U.S. (as part of the Confederate United States). Mexico was however, embroiled on its own conflict against France, during the Second Franco-Mexican War (1862-1867). Mexico wasn't interested in Texas at the time, but its own survival as an independent country.
Why was the South Secedes important?
The secession of 11 Southern US states was important because it produced, during the US Civil War, a divided nation that was weaker taken in totality then it was before the war. The secession caused terrible consequences for the Southern states because they cut themselves off from the manufacturing base of the North they enjoyed before the war. Now the South had depend upon Europe for supplies and products it needed to conduct a war and even if successful, the South would lose all the benefits of being part of the USA entailed. The secession also came to cause a civil war that killed over 600,000 Americans. This was a terrible cost. How the future of the US would have been if the South agreed to gradually end slavery and accept compensation from the US government, cannot be accurately known in detail. However, there is no doubt that the US would have been a major world power allot sooner if the Civil War, had never happened.
What were the consequences of the Battle of Gettysburg?
Prior to Gettysburg, the Confederacy had beaten the North in almost every encounter. These battles, however, almost all took place in Virginia. Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander, was mindful of this. He saw the depleted farms and ruined lands, and the subsequently starving populace. Even though they were winning the war, the South was desperate. Lee realized that he had to invade the North. He felt that if he could win a major victory above the Mason Dixon line, he could pull some Northern sentiments and cause the Union to act for peace. Any treaty at all would be a victory for the Confederacy, because that would mean that President Lincoln had to recognize them as a country, and allow them to remain so. Another benefit of an invasion of the North would be to take the pressure off of starving Virginia, to allow them to recooperate their farms, and perhaps be ready to support the army and the people again by the time the invasion ended. Lee moved his forces North to a place called Cashtown, west of Gettysburg, and the battle ensued. This information is important because even though Lee had succeeded in beating the Union army in almost every venture, he was in a desperate position. The invasion of the North was, in a way, his hail mary, even though victory was quite possible. Subsequently, should the Union secure a victory and repulse the invasion, defeat would be almost inevitable for the Confederates. The Union had the numerical advantages. They had the food, the factories, the endless troops, and, most importantly, the naval chokehold. Their blockades stopped almost all international trade for the South, slowly starving the secedes states. If the war were prolonged by stopping the invasion and ending the possibility of peace negotiations, the South would almost certainly starve out and have to surrender. In this way, the battle of Gettysburg was the deciding factor in the Civil War. The latter of the two options ended up happening, and the war was prolonged. The South eventually had to surrender, under the fierce pressure of Ulysses S. Grant, who was brought over from the West to steamroll after Robert E. Lee's maneuvering army and pin them down once and for all. If Lee had done one or two things differently at the battle of Gettysburg, you might still need a passport to travel between Maryland and Virginia.
Did the southern states have the right to secede the union?
They justiifed it by pointing out that the USA had seceded from the British Empire, and that the Constitution upheld States Rights. The legal argument was, in fact, very complex. The Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, wrote two books of memoirs that consisted of nothing but dry legalities - quite unreadable, and a missed opportunity to inspire younger readers with the legend of the Lost Cause. The South was, of course, claiming States Rights to practise slavery, when a small but respected minority in Congress were preaching Abolitionism. So really, the justification was more moral than legal.
